MYBA Superyacht Chefs’ Competition

The 2017 MYBA Superyacht Chefs’ Competition, held from 24 to 27 April at the MYBA Charter show, saw some fierce competition as participating chefs were judged by a star studded panel of judges.

Competing in three different yacht-size categories, the chefs were expected to prepare a three-course lunch or dinner with several guidelines. The starter had to be seafood incorporating saffron, the main course had to include fish and rice, and the dessert had to be sugar free and chefs were only allowed to use natural sugar substitutes such as honey or agave.

The judging criteria was based on originality, creativity, taste, presentation, execution, technique and overall impression. After careful deliberation, the judges announced the list of winning chefs below.
